  1. FNP online options

    lhflanurseNP replied to coartinee's topic in School, College Programs

    My only comment is that while online programs are probably a best alternative due to traveling around, the main problem will be obtaining sites for your clinicals unless the school can provide. It is...

  2. Do you use an iPad, phone or lap top for school?

    lhflanurseNP replied to Nolagrace1202's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  3. got accepted both MSN FNP and Post-BSN DNP. Which way to go?!

    lhflanurseNP replied to bluetear's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This is incorrect. There is no mandatory DNP requirement. By now, nurses pursing advanced degrees should know

  4. Road to FNP (nontraditional route)

    lhflanurseNP replied to WGHRN14's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The first part of many NP programs include the basic MSN classes that all advanced practice nurses must take regardless of the final track. You will have future educators, researchers, NPs, etc. in...

  5. South University FNP MSN program???

    lhflanurseNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    digazz711, you have managed to catch me at home "sick as a dog", so I dropped in to AN to see what was up. Yes, I am in the final throws...December 10!!!! The clinical courses, as with other...

  6. Houston NP student seeking preceptor

    lhflanurseNP replied to legume's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Your clinical rotations will directly correspond to the classes you are taking: pediatrics, women's health, adult & gerontology, primary care. Some students find a "fit" in multi practice groups...

  7. I am a newbee and need advice!

    lhflanurseNP replied to kambam's topic in General Students

  8. I NEED HELP!!! College Network is taking money!

    lhflanurseNP replied to sassylvn80's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I believe TCN offers a "pay for service" for providing education materials to allow one to take CLEP and other testing to opt out of actual courses towards their advancement and degree...statistics,...

  9. Physician Extender ???

    lhflanurseNP replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    medic97RN09, I have to say...you really got me chuckling with your expressive, yet absolutely accurate, name for NOT filling the narcotic. I see it just about everyday . Patient's do not so much...

  10. Review Course: Barkley or Fitzgerald?

    lhflanurseNP replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My program encourages Leik and the APEA

  11. Let's make a list of all online FNP programs

    lhflanurseNP replied to rynophiliac's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    nursebunney, many of us do not have the luxury of choosing a non-for-profit school. The key is that the school we do choose is accredited and can provide us with the tools to achieve our goals. One...

  12. Physician Extender ???

    lhflanurseNP replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can definitely see the term "extender" utilized for describing a PA...that is what they are...a physician's ASSISTANT!!!!! As the the NP, we are a unique holistic provider incorporating a more...

  13. AANP examination changes

    lhflanurseNP replied to nursemommy428's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    With you both! I am planning on taking the exam in January. Already told the family they are on their own for the holidays this year...just tell me when and where to show

  14. Terrible day at clinicals

    lhflanurseNP replied to kkfrn427's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Having the student do a preceptor and site evaluation is really important as you say. It is often times the only way the school gets "real time" feedback. A preceptor and/or site can look great on...

  15. Professional Journals

    lhflanurseNP replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As others have noted, your school school may provide access to most of these peer reviewed journals. If you access it online, check with the librarian how best to enter the information. For me, I...

  16. Boycott schools that make you find your own preceptors

    lhflanurseNP replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Schools send a faculty representative to evaluate the student in the field. They follow you around and observe your performance. They also talk to your preceptor and at times the staff. They will...

  17. Let's make a list of all online FNP programs

    lhflanurseNP replied to rynophiliac's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Your distaste for non-profit schools is well known in these forums, however your comment "most of these are for profit programs" is incorrect. Kaplan and Chamberlain are, I could not find out...

    lhflanurseNP replied to Nurse Allie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you considered the health department? Many offer women's health as far as exams, STDs, contraception, pregnancy, etc. I was going to do mine through the health department, but the NP retired ....

  19. Undergrad books used in grad school?

    lhflanurseNP replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My bad...I do NOT use my BSN books other than the 3 I listed. All the required books from pathology, pharmacology, etc are all MD books and much more in depth than what you will find in nursing...

  20. Undergrad books used in grad school?

    lhflanurseNP replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I kept very few of my undergrad books, and have found that I have referenced them much in grad school. I do use my research, health promotion, and education books but that's about it. I loved my...

  21. South University FNP MSN program???

    lhflanurseNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    MeloRN96, if you take 1 class per term as they have set up, it takes 27 months. Most students double their terms or so the splits (start a class then about 3-4 weeks in start another, and are done...

    lhflanurseNP replied to micco's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  24. Anyone else feeling overwhelmed?

    lhflanurseNP replied to rnkaytee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ouch! I would be overwhelmed!!!!! All three are VERY intense subjects. I took Pharm with Research Methods and barely survived, can't imagine adding Statistics (gave me the shingles). Good...

  25. Struggling NP student in need of advice !

    lhflanurseNP replied to pkakar929's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
